I am so sorry to hear this. I am afraid i think my ex husband is not far away from the end. Its very sad. They say alcholism and mental illness runs in families. That is certainly true for my ex. His father was an alcoholic and mother suffered from bipolar disorder and was found dead in her flat after a gastric ulcer ruptured and caused internal bleeding. Sadly I can see history repeating itself. The dificulty that i have is coming to terms with the steep decline into such a horrible existence. the degradation and isloation is almost unbearable. No other illness has such a profound effect on every aspect at an emotional and physical level of someone's life and the people around them.
